Footnotes

  1. 2 Chronicles 16:9 Or whole

63 And as the Lord (A)took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the Lord will (B)take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it.

64 “And the Lord (C)will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and (D)there you shall serve other gods (E)of wood and stone, (F)which neither you nor your fathers have known. 65 And (G)among these nations you shall find no respite, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your foot, but (H)the Lord will give you there a trembling heart and failing eyes and (I)a languishing soul.

36 And as for those of you who are left, (A)I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The (B)sound of a (C)driven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. 37 They shall stumble over one another, as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And (D)you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And those of you who are left shall (E)rot away in your enemies' lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.
